“Oh, and now that I think about it, there were some outsiders who showed up in the village around then, too. But I can’t say for sure if they were with those businessmen who came early to try and talk the villagers into agreeing to the relocation.”

“With all the drama today, shouldn’t we let Mr. Molina in on it? Let’s not forget that he treated us to dinner on our very first day here.”
